Steps:
- Season the beef with salt and pepper and place into the slow cooker.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the lime juice, beef broth, and Maggi. Stir in the other ingredients and then pour over the beef.
- Cook on low in the slow cooker for 8 hours. Then shred the beef using two forks and serve. I usually like to let the shredded beef hang out in all the cooking liquid/sauce for about 30 minutes before serving. Just keep the slow cooker on low.

Steps:
- For the marinade: Combine the Maggi sauce, lime juice, 2 tablespoons water, garlic and serranos in a medium-size bowl, season with salt and pepper. While whisking constantly, slowly add the olive oil, Put the brisket pieces into a large food-safe plastic bag and pour the marinade over it, turning the meat to coat. Seal and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or preferably overnight.
- Allow the meat to come to room temperature. Drain the meat and discard the marinade.
- For the brisket: Pour the oil into the bottom of a slow cooker. Add the onions, broth, peppers, oregano, garlic, chiles, tomatoes and some salt and pepper. Mix well, and then nestle the meat into the liquid in the bottom of the slow cooker. Cook the brisket on medium-high heat until the meat is tender and shreds easily with a fork, about 5 hours.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meat to a cutting board and let stand until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Shred the meat into 2-inch-long pieces. Return the shredded meat to the slow cooker, stir to combine, and let stand until the meat is hot, about 10 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if necessary.
- The warm braised meat can be used to fill burritos, tacos, tostadas or sandwiches. Leftover meat can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen in plastic freezer bags or containers for up to 1 month.
- For the tostadas: Spread about 1/3 cup of the warm meat over each of the crisp shells. Top each tostada with about 2 tablespoons lettuce, some diced avocado and 2 tablespoons salsa. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon crema over the top and garnish with crumbled queso fresco.
- Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.

SLOW-COOKER BEEF BARBACOA
I love this beef barbacoa because the meat is fall-apart tender and the sauce is smoky, slightly spicy and so flavorful. It's an amazing alternative to ground beef tacos or even pulled pork carnitas. It's also versatile. You can have a soft taco bar and let people make their own-or offer mouthwatering Mexican pizzas or rice bowls. -Holly Sander, Lake Mary, Florida

CROCK POT CARNE MACHACA

Steps:
- Season roast to taste.
- Place seasoned roast in crock pot.
- Pour salsa over roast and cook on high for 4-6 hours or on low for 8-10 hours, until you can shred meat with a fork.
- If you want a crisper meat, you can place the shredded meat on a cookie sheet and bake at 450 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes, until it gets crispy around the edges.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast or shoulder roast are ideal cuts for this dish as they have a good amount of fat that will render down and keep the meat moist during the long cooking process. You can also use flank steak or skirt steak, but these cuts are leaner and may need to be cooked for a shorter amount of time.
- Brown the beef before adding it to the slow cooker: Browning the beef adds flavor and helps to keep it from becoming dry. To brown the beef, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the beef is browned on all sides.
- Use a good quality salsa: The salsa is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality salsa that you enjoy the taste of. If you don't have time to make your own salsa, there are many good store-bought salsas available.
- Add vegetables to the slow cooker: Vegetables such as onions, peppers, and corn add flavor and texture to this dish. You can also add other vegetables such as carrots, celery, or zucchini.
- Cook the beef on low for 8-10 hours: This will allow the beef to become tender and fall apart. If you don't have time to cook the beef for that long, you can cook it on high for 4-6 hours, but the beef may not be as tender.
Conclusion:
Crock-Pot Mahaca Beef is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to make for a party or potluck. The beef is tender and flavorful, and the salsa adds a nice kick of spice. Serve this dish with rice, tortillas, or your favorite sides.
